Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Ovilla, TX
Air duct cleaning in Ovilla runs between $325 and $585 for most homes, depending on system size and how much debris has settled into the runs. The job takes about half a day. What makes Ovilla work different is the terrain: Blackland Prairie clay moves under the slabs, and that movement pulls flex-duct joints apart in attics built during the 1990s and 2000s boom. Dust, insulation fibers, and attic air get pulled into the supply side, and suddenly one bedroom never cools. Dale Whitmore and the Kestrel crews see that pattern regularly. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written quote before anyone touches a vent.
Why Ovilla Homes Are Different
Ovilla sits on Ellis County’s Blackland Prairie, where expansive clay soils swell with spring rain and shrink in summer heat. Slab foundations heave and settle through that cycle, and the movement climbs up into the attic. Flex-duct runs, common in the 20-to-30-year-old homes that make up most of Ovilla’s housing stock, sag at the collars and boots. A joint that was tight when the house was framed can walk apart after a few dry summers. When that happens, the supply side pulls unconditioned attic air, blown-in insulation fibers, and whatever dust has accumulated up there straight into the living space.
North Texas pollen makes it worse. Mountain cedar arrives in December and hangs around through February, then oak and grass pollen hit in spring. That’s the exact stretch when Ovilla homeowners open windows for fresh air, and the HVAC system pulls those allergens into ducts that are already compromised. Summer heat indexes push AC systems to run 12-plus hours a day, which compacts dust inside the runs and raises humidity enough to encourage microbial growth. A duct cleaning that ignores the foundation-movement problem cleans the surface and leaves the real fault untouched. Kestrel technicians look for separated boots at the plenum and register collars first, because in Ovilla that’s usually where the air is getting dirty.
Our Main Ovilla Services
Ovilla homeowners call Kestrel for two jobs more than anything else: cleaning the air ducts that move conditioned air through the house, and clearing dryer vents before lint becomes a fire hazard. Each has its own page with local pricing and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Ovilla
Air Duct Cleaning in Ovilla starts with a look at the duct joints, not just the registers. In homes on Blackland Prairie clay, separation at the plenum and register collars lets attic dust and insulation fibers into the supply system. Kestrel crews use Rotobrush rotary brush agitation to dislodge debris at the duct wall, then Nikro negative-air extraction pulls it out of the system while Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration keeps loosened particles from re-entering the living space. Each of those tools does a specific job: the brush scrubs, the negative pressure collects, and the HEPA filters trap. Before any work starts you get a written price, and every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ovilla
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ovilla clears the full run from the dryer to the exterior vent cap, including the lint trap bypass many homeowners never think about. In Ovilla’s 1990s and 2000s homes, dryer vents often route up through the roof or out through long horizontal runs in the wall, and both collect lint faster than a short direct path. The written price covers the whole run, no surprises at the door. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies: if the vent clogs again within the guarantee period, Kestrel returns and makes it right at no charge.

What Ovilla Customers Say
"Our dryer was taking two cycles to dry a load. They cleaned the vent and pulled out a frightening amount of lint. Dries in one cycle now and honestly I feel better about the fire risk."
- Marcus Lee"Set up an appointment for the whole house plus the dryer line. They called the morning of to confirm, showed up in the window, and showed me pictures of the gunk they pulled out. Worth it."
- Terrence Boyd"My wife's allergies were awful every morning. Had the ducts done and it's made a real difference. Tech was on time and wore booties in the house without me asking."
